Re: Seeds sowing - day light and temp
If you are growing Lophophora or Astrophytum there would germinate in a few days but if you are growing Tephrocactus it could take up to 4 years.
So we need to know what species you are sowing, before any advice can be given, I agree with Tina you min Temp.is high, 15c would be better or even a little lower than that, 30c maybe ok for some but they will need shade.
to have some up after 4 days is good and you should get more over the first 3 weeks.

Re: Seeds sowing - day light and temp
I dont have any control on the temp or day cycle.
Here tge list with tge germ rate until today (7 days)
I have very good result with temp of 30c to tge wrio and astro. The other option to put tge seeds on is 25c days and night....
6 different astro seeds (4/75 seeds, all germinated seeds from same speice)
0/10 ario seeds
1/10discocactus seeds
0/10 escobaria seeds
I think maybe the day legnth not enough long

Re: Seeds sowing - day light and temp
I think you need a little more patience, while astro seeds are often very quick to germinate, other species can take several weeks, so update us in another week with your results maybe...
